Tiki Totem Pole
 
Wood Carving
by Lee Etherington
 
 
Tiki Totem Pole is a vibrant and spirited wood sculpture by master chainsaw carver Lee Etherington that celebrates the playful energy, symbolism, and storytelling traditions associated with Polynesian-inspired tiki art. Rising with bold presence and unmistakable character, this striking totem commands attention through its expressive faces, exaggerated features, and vivid hand-painted details.
 
Expertly hand-carved from wood, Etherington transforms a simple timber into a dynamic work of art filled with personality and charm. Each carefully sculpted face tells its own story, creating a sense of movement and rhythm as the eye travels from one expression to the next. Bright colours, dramatic smiles, and whimsical forms combine to create a sculpture that radiates warmth, humour, and tropical spirit.
 
Tiki Totem Pole is a celebration of creativity, adventure, and the joy of artistic expression. Whether displayed indoors, in a garden, on a patio, or as part of a unique collection, this distinctive sculpture brings a sense of fun, energy, and conversation to any setting.
